Hi! My name is Kristen. I love working with empathetic and inclusive humans.
I began my 20s navigating the 9-5 at an international education nonprofit. But the cubicle life did not bring me any sense of joy, purpose, or excitement. Freelancing was something I dove into as a way to reconnect with my purpose again. Although I made so many meaningful and impactful connections during my time in freelance, I needed to prioritize my mental health. Thus, in the summer of 2022 I entered a mental health hospitalization program and I irrevocably aligned with my purpose through pain, healing, and grief. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and I am so thankful to still be here breathing, learning, healing, and experiencing life. I am currently waiting to find out if I have been accepted into an MSW program for the Fall of 2024 and hope to become a therapist for the LGBTQIA+ community.
I identify as nonbinary and use They/Them pronouns. My favorite movies include Poor Things, Silver Linings Playbook, and The Notebook. I am a sucker for a good bath, a good book, and reality TV. I don’t believe in guilty pleasures because no pleasure we experience on this earth needs to come with a side of guilt.
I am here to connect with other healing humans looking to create more inclusive spaces to connect with me, my writing, and my current presentation offering to help organizations and communities become more educated on how to be better LGBTQIA+ advocates within this world. Darkness can only exist with the essence of light in mind. So let’s be a freaking light!
